Maintenance Supervisor- Westview Heights
MG PropertiesMaintenance supervisors at established multifamily operators don't just fix things. They build systems. At MG Properties, a Western U.S. operator with three decades of apartment acquisition, development, and management behind them, this role at Westview Heights in Portland puts you in charge of how maintenance actually runs, not just whether it gets done.
The day-to-day scope is broad by design. You'll diagnose issues and either handle them directly or assign them to your team based on skill level and priority. You'll inspect completed work, manage the incoming flow of resident service requests, and coordinate scheduling so the right people are in the right place. Preventive maintenance records, expenditure tracking, and equipment upkeep all fall under your watch. Safety meetings are yours to run on a regular cadence. The property manager relies on you to keep the maintenance side of operations organized and accountable.
What this role builds is worth naming clearly. Supervisors who come up through general maintenance often develop strong diagnostic instincts, but the organizational habits that make a maintenance department actually function, scheduling logic, documentation discipline, team performance management, come from leading at this level. You'll sharpen all of it here.
What the role requires going in is equally specific. MG Properties is looking for someone with at least two years of supervisory experience and a background managing maintenance across a minimum of 150 units. Multi-trade competency is expected across plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and general repair. You'll need a valid driver's license and reliable transportation. Beyond technical skill, the work is resident-facing enough that your customer service instincts matter as much as your tool knowledge.
Qualifications
- Minimum two years of experience as a Maintenance Supervisor, preferably in multifamily
- Hands-on experience at a property of 150 units or more
- Proficiency across multiple trades (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, general repair)
- Strong communication and team coordination skills
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
- Customer-focused approach to resident interactions
Portland's multifamily market runs a mix of garden-style and mid-rise product, and experienced supervisors who can manage aging mechanical systems alongside modern unit interiors are consistently in demand. MG Properties offers monthly bonuses, profit sharing, a 401(k) with employer match, and a full benefits package including medical, dental, and vision. Rental discounts and paid time off round out the compensation picture.
For maintenance professionals thinking about career trajectory, the Maintenance Supervisor role is often the clearest path toward regional facilities management or Director of Maintenance positions at larger operators. The documentation habits and team leadership skills you refine here translate directly to overseeing multiple properties or training junior staff across a portfolio.
